Diyarbakır, DiyarbakırAges 18 years+ - NCT07718464Recruiting
AKI risk test for children in the ICU
This study tests a new way to find children in the pediatric ICU who are at risk for serious kidney injury early, so doctors can start treatment sooner. Your child's kidney stress markers will be checked from a blood or urine sample.
Cincinnati, OhioAges Any age - NCT07550790Recruiting
Preventing kidney injury during heart failure imaging scans
This study tests whether a specific water-based medication can prevent kidney damage when patients with acute heart failure need a CT scan with contrast dye. The trial focuses on people with mild-to-moderate kidney problems who are hospitalized for fluid buildup in the heart.
Seongnam-si, Gyeonggi-doAges 20 years+ - NCT03329313RecruitingPhase 2
Adjusting dialysis salt levels for ICU kidney injury
This study tests whether using a specific salt (sodium) level in the dialysis fluid affects outcomes for adults in the ICU with sudden kidney failure. It may help your care team optimize dialysis settings during acute kidney injury.
Montpellier, MontpellierAges 18–80 - NCT03629977Recruiting
Timing dialysis in critically ill ICU patients
This study looks at the best timing for starting kidney support treatment (dialysis) in very sick people in the ICU. It may help improve outcomes by comparing different start times.
StockholmAges 18 years+ - NCT04033224Recruiting
Blood-filter treatments for ICU patients with kidney and organ failure
This trial tests a specific type of blood-filter treatment in critically ill ICU patients who have acute kidney injury and/or failure of other organs. It aims to see whether these filters can improve care by supporting kidney function and/or calming harmful inflammation.
Empoli, FirenzeAges Any age - NCT04144894Recruiting
Kidney ultrasound and health measurements for people without diabetes or high blood pressure
This trial looks at how well a “kidney ultrasound index” (a measurement from an ultrasound and health factors) can reflect kidney health. It may help researchers better understand which people are most likely to stay healthy and who may be at risk.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 19 years+ - NCT04279457RecruitingPhase 4
Test whether special dye helps protect kidney function during heart procedures
This trial studies whether a device called Dye-Vert Plus can lower the risk of kidney injury from contrast dye during heart catheter procedures (CAG and/or PCI). It focuses on people at higher kidney risk, especially those with diabetes or high blood pressure.
Charleston, West VirginiaAges 18–90 - NCT04580680Recruiting
Testing a blood-filter treatment in critically ill ICU patients
This study looks at an add-on blood-filter treatment used in the ICU to help remove harmful substances like waste products, inflammation signals, or toxins from the blood. Results may help doctors understand whether this approach improves care and how it should be used.
FlorenceAges Any age - NCT04615065Recruiting
Biobank study collecting emergency data for very sick patients
This study collects health and sometimes blood sample information from people arriving at the emergency department with high-risk or serious conditions. The goal is to build a large emergency “biobank” to help researchers better understand and improve urgent care.
GroningenAges 18 years+ - NCT04669548Recruiting
Accuryn monitoring study for people having heart surgery
This registry collects information from patients who are monitored with the Accuryn system during heart surgery and their ICU stay. It helps researchers learn from the system’s signals to better understand patient care around cardiac procedures.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT04936607Recruiting
Protecting kidney health after heart angiograms or stents
This study looks at ways to improve kidney outcomes after a coronary angiogram and/or stent procedure. If you’re having one of these heart procedures and your kidneys aren’t already severely affected, the study may help reduce the risk of kidney worsening around the time of the procedure.
Montreal, QuebecAges 18 years+ - NCT04968587Recruiting
Compare two ways to clean blood during dialysis
This study compares two methods for removing waste products from the blood in people who need dialysis. It aims to see whether one method works better or is safer during extra-renal (outside the body) blood purification.
MelunAges 18 years+ - NCT04982419RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
Remote arm treatment to protect heart and kidneys in heart failure
This trial tests whether a simple “arm cuff” treatment done before a heart artery procedure can help protect the kidneys and the heart in people with congestive heart failure. If it works, it may lower the chance of kidney injury around the time of the scan/stent procedure.
Pittsburgh, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05247502Recruiting
Study of kidney outcomes after ICU kidney injury
This study follows adults who stay in the ICU for more than 24 hours to see how an episode of acute kidney failure affects kidney health over the long term. Your participation helps researchers understand which ICU patients may need closer kidney monitoring later.
Clermont-FerrandAges 18 years+ - NCT05339139RecruitingPhase 3
Testing citrate blood-thinning during kidney dialysis in adults
This study tests how safe a specific blood thinner called “citrate” is when used during continuous kidney dialysis (CRRT) for people with AKI or kidney failure. If you qualify, your care team will compare citrate safety against standard approaches to see if it’s tolerable and safe.
Little Rock, ArkansasAges 18 years+ - NCT05344573Recruiting
Testing better blood-flow rhythms during heart bypass surgery
This trial studies ways to control the “pulsatility” (how the blood pressure pulses during circulation) while you are on a heart-lung bypass machine. It may help improve safety and heart function during planned heart surgery.
Aurora, ColoradoAges 50–70 - NCT05346393Recruiting
TIPS procedure for kidney failure in people with cirrhosis
This trial studies whether a liver procedure called TIPS can help people with cirrhosis who develop sudden kidney failure (HRS-AKI). It aims to improve kidney function and overall outcomes, but participation depends on several safety checks.
AachenAges 18–80 - NCT05349292Recruiting
Check hemodilution’s effect on urine kidney stress markers
This study tests a technique used during planned heart bypass surgery to see whether it changes substances measured in urine that reflect kidney stress or injury. If you have upcoming elective bypass surgery, your team may collect blood and urine samples to study how your kidneys respond.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 18–70 - NCT05399537RecruitingPhase 3
Testing citrate fluid safety during kidney filtration (CRRT)
This Phase 3 study checks whether Prismocitrate 18 is safe for adults who need a kidney filtration treatment called CRRT. It is mainly for people who cannot safely use heparin (a common blood thinner) due to bleeding risk.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 18 years+ - NCT05817539Recruiting
Early circulation-focused care during kidney dialysis in ICU
This trial looks at whether starting dialysis-related care early, aimed at improving blood flow to tissues, can help people in the ICU who have sudden kidney failure. It may help reduce problems related to poor tissue circulation, but it is very specific about ICU illness and current treatments.
AjaccioAges 18 years+ - NCT05817929Recruiting
Angiopoietin levels and outcomes after heart bypass surgery
This study looks at how a blood protein called angiopoietin relates to recovery and complications after heart surgery that uses a heart-lung machine. If you’re having scheduled heart bypass-type surgery, your team may take blood samples to see whether these levels can help predict outcomes.
AmiensAges 18 years+ - NCT05830669Recruiting
Remote preconditioning therapy for newly sick sepsis patients
This trial studies whether a “remote preconditioning” treatment given during early sepsis can help protect the kidneys and improve outcomes. It is for adults in the ICU very soon after sepsis begins.
MünsterAges 18 years+ - NCT05836922Recruiting
Checking kidney oxygen after lung transplant to predict kidney injury
This pilot study looks at whether a painless skin sensor can measure kidney oxygen levels after lung transplant surgery. The goal is to predict and possibly prevent postoperative kidney failure by identifying risk early.
